A VPS built for web scraping and data collection

Two server attributes decide whether a crawler succeeds: the reputation of its IP, and how much data it can move without being throttled or billed into the ground. NoKycVPS gives you a dedicated IPv4 and a routed /64 IPv6 on every server. The address is yours alone — it isn't part of a shared pool where someone else's aggressive bot has already gotten the whole range flagged.

Bandwidth is the second half. Every plan runs on a link of up to 10 Gbps, unmetered. Scraping is bursty and high-volume; a crawl over a large catalogue can pull hundreds of gigabytes. On a metered host that becomes a real cost or a hard cap. Here there is no per-GB egress charge, so you size for the job, not the invoice.

The /64 IPv6 block deserves attention. For targets that serve over IPv6, a /64 gives you 2^64 addresses to assign — you can bind each worker or each logical session to a distinct IPv6 source from your own allocation, a far cleaner approach than buying murky third-party proxies. Combine that with a dedicated v4 for fallback and you have a self-owned, accountable address surface. See the VPS plans for the per-region specifics.

A VPS gives you the capability to crawl hard. The discipline is yours. Responsible scraping is both an ethical baseline and the practical way to keep a crawler from getting blocked. Treat the following as non-negotiable:

• Read robots.txt and honour it. Fetch /robots.txt first, respect Disallow rules and any Crawl-delay. It's a published statement of the operator's wishes.
• Rate-limit yourself. One request every few seconds per host is civilised; hammering a small site with concurrent requests is not. Add jittered backoff and exponential retry on 429/503.
• Identify your bot. Set a descriptive User-Agent with a contact channel so an operator can reach you. Spoofing a browser to evade detection is the wrong posture for legitimate research.
• Respect Terms of Service and the law. ToS, the CFAA (US), database rights and the GDPR (EU), and copyright all apply. Public data is not a blanket licence; personal data carries obligations regardless of how you obtained it.
• Cache and deduplicate. Don't re-fetch what you already have. Conditional requests (If-Modified-Since, ETags) cut load on both ends.

Our Acceptable Use Policy is explicit: legitimate, rate-limited crawling is fine; mass-scanning of third parties as abuse, amplification attacks, and traffic that degrades other infrastructure are not. A scraper that behaves like a DDoS is a violation, full stop. Build a polite crawler and you'll never come near that line.

The goal of rotation is to spread load so no single source overwhelms a target, not to disguise abuse. At a high level:

• IPv6 source rotation — bind workers to distinct addresses from your own /64. This is the cleanest rotation you can do because every address is yours and accountable.
• Multi-region siting — run collectors in Paris, Reykjavik, Zurich, or Bucharest to put the crawler near the data and distribute requests geographically.
• Header and session hygiene — realistic, consistent headers and proper cookie/session handling; rotate sessions, not deception.
• Concurrency caps and queues — a global rate limiter (token bucket) per target domain matters more than any IP trick.

A typical Debian 12 stack on an S2 Pro:

apt update && apt install -y python3 python3-venv git
python3 -m venv ~/scrape && source ~/scrape/bin/activate
pip install scrapy playwright httpx beautifulsoup4
playwright install --with-deps chromium

Use scrapy with AUTOTHROTTLE_ENABLED = True for static HTML, and Playwright headless Chromium only for JavaScript-rendered pages — browsers are RAM-hungry, which is why 16 GB+ matters. Stage results to the NVMe disk and ship to object storage or a database. Pick an OS from our images (Debian 12/13, Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Rocky 9, Alpine, and more).

Researchers, journalists, and data engineers often have good reasons not to bind a collection project to their legal identity: investigating an adversary, working on a sensitive dataset, or simply not wanting a hosting account that doubles as an identity dossier. NoKycVPS requires no ID, no phone, no documents, and no email verification — email and password is the entire credential, and disposable email is welcome.

Billing is crypto-only across 10 coins: Bitcoin, Monero (XMR), Litecoin, Ethereum, USDT-TRC20, USDC, Solana, Tron, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. It's balance-based — top up, then deploys debit the balance. Monero credits in about 30 seconds; Bitcoin takes a few minutes. Top-up bonuses run to +30% at $100 and +70% at $1000. For longer projects, the 12-month cycle is 50% off. None of this couples your crawler to a card in your name.

Deployment is fast — a ~47 second median spin-up (Q1 2026) — so standing up extra collectors for a burst job and tearing them down after is cheap and quick. Browse offshore hosting options if jurisdiction is part of your threat model.

Match the plan to the crawler's shape:

• Light static scraping (HTTP + HTML parsing, modest concurrency): the S2 Pro — 4 vCPU / 16 GB DDR5 / 320 GB NVMe Gen5, from $15/mo — is the right default and the most popular plan. 16 GB comfortably runs a handful of headless browser tabs alongside the parser.
• Headless-browser fleets or heavy parallelism: the S3 Power — 8 vCPU / 32 GB / 640 GB, from $30/mo — gives you the cores and RAM to run many concurrent Chromium instances without swapping.
• Industrial-scale collection (continuous large crawls, in-memory dedup, big staging): a dedicated R1 (Ryzen 9 7950X, 16c/32t, 64 GB ECC, 2x2TB NVMe, from $89/mo) or R2 Pro (EPYC 9354, 32c/64t, 128 GB) on a 10 Gbps unmetered uplink. Bare metal removes the noisy-neighbour variable entirely.

All plans include the dedicated IPv4, /64 IPv6, AMD EPYC compute, and the 99.97% uptime SLA. Start on an S2 and order in a minute, or step up to dedicated when a single box needs all the cores.
